Futurama Flash animated movie

[on:]

Hay,
I am going to animate a futurama script in flash, i have already started and it's working good, but i am german, and the script is in english, so my first question is if you could check the language for me, and tell me where it is wrong, so that i can fix it.

My also need some "voice actors" because i can't do all the characters myself. so if you could help me, it would be great.
 

Thanks Bofr@

Ps: here comes the script:

Project 1:

" In the name of the can "

Story by phlame:

you see the plan ex building, from outside, with theFuturama music.

Leela, Fry, Bender are sitting on the sofa, with feet on the table.
Then you see the television. News with Morbo and Linda are running.

Linda
The company Lör-brew demands all bottles and cans with the production code Lb-gm46 back. They know the beverages in their supermarkets against not harmful commodity exchanges.
Consumers can die at a food poisoning.

Morbo
(standart Morbo reaction)
Earthlings do not know the meaning of the word food poisoning yet.

Linda
(laughs)

(end of the TV scene)
professor Farnsworth and Hermes come purely.

Prof Farnsworth
good news, everyone.

Hermes
(sadly)
Fry, Leela, Bender. The professor and I must tell you something.

Fry
start!

Hermes
(hesitates)
Professor, say it to the crew, I do not bring it over my heart.
(runs crying into his office, the door closes with hissing)

Prof Farnsworth
well, I am sorry, haviing to say that, but we must all
search new jobs. Planet express is bankrupt.
(whining)

Fry, Leela, Bender look astonished.

Prof Farnsworth
one Moment! That is no good message at all.

Leela
(infuriates)
But how could that happen?

Bender
Exactly, where we work nevertheless, and always so hard

Fry
(fry winks at bender)

Leela
really, I thought that everything would go fine

Prof Farnsworth
yeah it did, but I was so dumb and have forget to let you make delivery. The contract is burst and now we stand here with the not supplied
Freight and do not know where to with it.

Bender
(rises and goes to the door)

Fry
(loud)
Bender, wait! Where do you want to go?

Bender
I look for a job, robots are needed everywhere. I can try it at
Elzars or has the Robotmafia.

Leela
No, wait!

Prof Farnsworth
Hermes has already sold the building with spaceship and everything else. Until tomorrow we must be out of here.

Leela
we can still live a few days, with that money .

Prof Farnsworth
What? You probably are crazy! Until we completely reached the zero point?
It's not applicable at all.

Fry
Hey, moment! What is with the freight?

Prof Farnsworth
It stands over there.
(points to the freight)

An enormous pile of Slurmcans is located in the area

Fry, Leela
(at the same time)
Slurm?

Prof Farnsworth
Completely exactly. That is everything that we have momentarily. But ehat shall we do whit it?
That is garbage.

Fry
so, if nobody wants to have, I would take them. i could live on them for the next 10 years.

Leela
Nothing! The Slurm cans are our only rescue. How many have we?

Prof Farnsworth
This paper says...
(looks on a paper, which he holds in his hands.
he moves
its eyeglasses right.)
635
oh high 10

Bender
(surprises)
1,500,000 cans of Slurm? What shall we do with them?

Prof Farnsworth
throw them Into a river!?!

Leela
We must sell them.

Bender
That is correct, but until tomorrow the shop must be done. or do You want to
sell them on the road?

Leela
No. Then we make Fry's robot apartment cabinet to our new headquarter.

Bender
Oh no! Is not applicable!

Sudden scene change to the corridor of the robot apartments.
Bender pushes, with annoyed view, a pallet
Slurm cnas on a floating delivery van into its door.

In " the cabinet "

Bender
(" camera " zooming out and you see the apartment full, to to the celing with cans)
Oh, That there is no other possibility.

Short module (similarly as scene from 1acv04 in the club " Hip joint " see http://www.cwsurf.de/marki/zoidberg.jpg)
Zoidberg takes a box Slurm and lifts it to the mouth however, it comes nothing
out, because it crushed the can due to his shears hands. Then
it makes a disappointed face (as on the picture)

Hermes
So, then we would have brought all Slurm doses here.

The camera shows only the delivery van with few doses and then zooming back, so that all cans can be seen.

without zoom shot Hermes again in close-up. he shows with a ball-point pen
in the direction of Amy and Zoidberg.

Hermes
Amy and doctor Zoidberg, you both make a desk from Slurm doses for me.
Oh, which can make doctor Zoidberg also alone. Amy, you tries one
Sculpture!

Amy
(looks amusingly)

Egyptian music runs.
Amy begins to stack a pyramid. Those tilts again and again, and Amy
must again and again which hold and catch. Pass few
small time jumps. Once the pyramid stands - Amy develops it again -
the pyramid stands, falls down again - Amy is furious - and so on.
That can be able be done 20 second in such a way.
with music in the back.
If the pyramid at the conclusion is finished there comes egyptian music.

Zoidberg
(runs in Aegyter movement once by the picture)

Scene change (small time jump)
Amy squats on a pile Slurm doses. Supports its head by their
Poor one off. Fry comes, with a small pallet of Slurmcans under his arms.
Fry bends to a cassette recorder and looks at it. The Egyptian
Music stops.

Fry
What is the matter Amy?

Amy
Oh, that is like that humiliating. Mars belongs to my parents, and I work in a
Enterprise, which stands briefly before the bankruptcy.

Fry sits down beside Amy. Hermes comes immediately jumped into the picture.

Hermes
Hey, you putrefy bags! To the work, but fast.

This was it.

If the characters would talk with a German accent, it'll maybe be funny... in some way

Ok you're right I shouldn't have said that. I think it's great that you're dedicated enough to atempt a project like this, hope it turns out well.

[Reply #8 on:]

yes i hope it too,
but it wont turn out well without
-scripts
-english grammar ;-)
-and many "voice actors"


so, hear you,
Bofr@

[Reply #9 on:]

Bofr@

[Reply #11 on:]

Hey hey, calm down. This is a message board, not everyone here will reply, those that would reply may not be online now.

[Reply #12 on:]

sorry,
i just was little bit nervous or somethin'

[Reply #13 on:]

Why don't you animate something small first, to show us what you can do?

[Reply #14 on:]

you can also check da old FAT homepage,
there you should find some stuff of me, http://mitglied.lycos.de/demboard/

See ya
Bofr@


Ps:
Does anybody know if there is a fanstory about the what if machine?

[Reply #15 on:]

I watched "Projekt one" I didnt get it.
I dont have a microphone, and i dont think i can do any vioces.
Maybe there are some Futurama vioce synthisisers out there, so you wont need actors.

[Reply #16 on:]

NO VOICE ACTORS.

Just use subtitles - I firmly believe that any imitations would do absolutely no justice to the original show and would just be dorky-sounding.

[Reply #17 on:]

It was dorky sounding, The sound bytes were of poor quality and timing

[Reply #18 on:]

hallo,
it was just an animation test, the voices aren't finished they are just place-holder.

Laura May is doing the women voices
so we need guys

[Reply #19 on:]

and i did "project one" in october 2002,
it was my first futurama testanimation,
and also a crappy one.

Bofr@

[Reply #20 on:]

I can provide some voices for u if u want.

I do fairly decent impressions of-

Zapp
Kif
Morbo
Horrible Gelatinous Blob
Nixon
Judge Whitey

and not quite as decent impressions of-
Fry
Farnsworth
Hermes

[Reply #21 on:]

Hey, I think it's worth a try. If it does turn out crap, well - at least we would have attempted it. It's a bit ambitious, but why not give it a try?

Anyway, I'm pretty good when it comes to English, but looking over your script, it would be very hard to re-write it to perfect english grammar, as the grammar in the script is... well, just plain awful.

No offence, I know your main language is German, so you have an excuse, but still - the grammar you used in your script made it very hard to understand what you meant in just about every setence. I'm really sorry, but I just don't think that it's wise having someone write a script in english if their main language is german.

Still, I stand by my "why not give it a try" remark, I just think you need someone else to write the script. Sorry if this is sounding harsh, but my criticism is meant in a constructive way only, so don't take it the wrong way, I'm just telling you the truth.

[Reply #22 on:]

why dont you use captions (it would be eisier) and most games (well all of 'em) use them
but if you dont like that i can do:
persident nixon
amy
hermes
andZOIDBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(he's hard to do im told)

Hallo,
yes i got Ted Thompson,
he can speak german and english, and he translates my german script into english,
he has already finished the beginning,

Here it comes:
ESTABLISHING SHOT:
 Exterior of the Planet Express building, with typical Futurama background
music.  "Cars" wizz by in intersection in foreground.

SCENE: INTERIOR PLANET EXPRESS BUILDING - EMPLOYEES LOUNGE

 Leela, Fry, and Bender sit on the sofa, with their feet on the table. Angle
then switches to their view of the television screen.  A News broadcast with
Linda and Morbo in on the screen, they are seated in their typical "News"
set.

 Linda: The company LOE-BREW [company logo appears next to her head] issued
a recall for all of their products branded with the production code
LB-LMV3-3012G-59 today, after learning that Consumers who drink the beverage
[logo is replaced with a scene of someone being carried out of a bar on a
stretcher] could die from food poisoning. (Big Smile)

 Morbo: Earthlings do not yet know the meaning of the words food poisoning.

 Linda: (laughs)

TV shuts off.

 Shot changes to a close up of Bender on the couch, with RST brewing bottle
in his hand.

 Bender: Miserable mammals! With your inefficient Immune-systems!  Food
poisoning?! Muahahahah (Typical Evil Laugh)


and we also have got the first voices from laura may, for amy leela and linda, http://home.arcor.de/minuth/pub/amy.mp3  http://home.arcor.de/minuth/pub/leela.mp3  http://home.arcor.de/minuth/pub/linda.mp3
but we still need
Fry
Farnsworth
Hermes amd
Morbo,

would be cool if you, grim,
could speak any of these,

so
see ya
Bofr@

[Reply #25 on:]

No probs Bofr@, I'll see what I can do, if you get me some specific lines to "audition" with I'll have a crack at it.

I could probably more easily do your Hermes and Morbo, but if worst comes to worst I'll have a go with my crappy Fry and Farnsworth.

for a sample of my other "futurama" works-  http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/4-000418-1/

[Reply #26 on:]

wow,
i think next time i have to take a script with zapp and kif involved,
'cause your voice imitation is very good,
i think 90% of the original ones.

It would be cool if you could speak the morbo part for the begining sequence.
it's the following text:
Morbo: Earthlings do not yet know the meaning of the words food poisoning.

It would be nice if you could send it to [removed on request]
thanx alot,

[Reply #27 on:]

Nice. Just something small. There is alot of double posting going on here. It;'s okay one or twic but don't keep on. I know, I use to do it to when I was youth here but now I'm months!

[Reply #28 on:]

Why did they get 1 500 000 cans of Slurm for free? That dosen't make sense

[Reply #29 on:]

I can do the professor...

[Reply #30 on:]

hallo,
kennedy, can you send me a sampel of your voice?

and no they didn't get them for free, they forgot to deliver them.

Bofr@

[Reply #31 on:]

Wouldn't they have to return them?

[Reply #32 on:]

näh,
des müssen se ned,
geht ja garnet, weil die die ja hätten liefern müssen.

Freundliche Grüße

[Reply #33 on:]

Hold it! Hold it! Is there cel-shading involved?

[Reply #34 on:]

whod?
cell shading?
do you speak about flash or a 3d programm like swift?
we plan to make the earth in  swift3d,
that part "marki" will do,
the other flash animator

[Reply #35 on:]

Cel-shading- EASY! All we need are a few 3d programs, like CorelDream 8.

[Reply #36 on:]

Cel-shading- EASY! All we need are a few 3d programs, like CorelDream 8. Then toon-render them. I'ts easy as 1-2!

Ack! Double post!

[Reply #37 on:]

i tried it a few times with bender in poser,
but it always looked not so comic style,
and you would need al other futurama characters,
if you got them modeled by somebody you can realy animate them easy, perhapps somebody can rip of the characters from the upcoming futuramagame.

see ya
